Ebay ‘odd-shoe’ inventory makes Odd Shoe Finder even better

Women's and men's shoes

The last few months have seen the number of listings on oddshoefinder.com grow substantially.  This is good news for everyone because as the number of listings grow, comes an increase in likelihood that our members will find something that matches. And the more people who find something that matches, the more shoes that are sold. And so on.

But we still understand that many members still struggle to find that matching pair even with our listings of 10,000 or so pairs.

That’s why we’ve decided to add an eBay ‘widget’ on our home page and search page that lists all the current Ebay listings for mismatched pairs for men and women. That means that if you can’t find what you want in our database, you can also look through .

Now, we need to explain a few things because we’ve had a few questions about this. Firstly, the listings are for the US only.  Around 80% of our members are from the US with the remaining 20% spread between Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Netherlands and other parts of Europe.  While we really want to look after everyone it wasn’t practical to add the widget for every country.


We believe that the banner above, though, will take you to EBay in your country.

Secondly, though we’ve tried to hard to get it right, sometimes some odd things turn up in eBay widget – and I’m not talking about odd-sized shoes. Some have complained about toys or books etc coming up in the list. We think we’ve got it right now, but please bear with us. If we tighten up the criteria for the EBay listing too much we risk cutting out some legitimate offers.

Of course, you can also list your shoes on eBay. If you decide to list shoes on both sites, please let us KNOW if you sell the shoes so we can remove them from our own database. Also make sure that you check the terms and conditions with EBay too. We don’t charge a listing fee so we’re not too fussed, but EBay is a commercial operation and may have rules around this.

Finally, as disclosure, this arrangement we have with is commercial.  We receive a small commission for the traffic we drive to their site – whether it’s for mismatched shoes or any other product. Money we make from this goes back into the development of oddshoefinder.com. We hope that you will support, where you can, those companies that support us.
